Warner to Start Selling Off its Gaming Division

Last year Warner had an unexpected mega-hit with Hogwarts Legacy. The fact is that this year it probably would have bombed because of Sweet Baby Inc.’s involvement. It’s hilariously ironic that a game as Woke as Hogwarts Legacy blew the doors off because gamers and Hary Potter fans wanted to give the Death to JK crowd the middle finger and were willing to plunk down quite a few bucks to do it.This year Warner Brothers luck ran out with Suicide...

Deadpool Drama

You've probably been hearing something about a lot of behind-the-scenes shrieking and screaming due to an extended version of Deadpool and Wolverine.Here's what's going on. Deadpool started shooting in early 2023, was interrupted because of the SAG strike but resumed and was finished in November of 2023. Those dates are important. Because of the strike, there were several actors who had been signed but became unavailable. So their characters had to be cut. Patrick Stewart for instance was set...

The Seige of Nerdrotic

From the Land of Unsurprising News comes this, well-known YouTube comic culture commentator and former comic shop owner Gary Buechler better known as Nerdrotic is under an organized assault.It started last week when this complete UFO of an account on X.com posted this.There was nothing remotely clever, innovative, informative, insightful, useful, intelligent, simply nothing at all interesting about this tweet, but it went through the roof. Then MinuteNerdNews turned his account private. Yeah, that's not suspicious. This was very clearly and...

Harddrive-by: Fallen Aces

I love this game. We’ll start there. If this game wasn’t made with me in mind then it was made for Razorfist. It plays to most of my major weaknesses. Golden Age Comics, Imm-sim Boomer shooter, pulp fiction, crime noir with a Chanderleresque private dick walking down these mean streets, it’s all there.Like the classic Theif, it’s an imm-sim. But it’s quite a bit more than that.The game is published by New Blood Interactive which is a pretty big point in...

Mickey is Having Kittens About This

Way more gossipy than is my usual want, but it is part of my beat.Yeah, he was always holding hands with Gina Carrano.If you look at the body language from the rest of the panel it's obvious. This is not a casual friendship. And Mickey is not going to be cool about it. Husband and wife team, fine, but they aren't married and probably aren't going to be, and given Pascal's dating history they aren't going to...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: Batman The Caped Crusader

I knew it was going to be bad but I didn’t think it could be this bad.Between the years of 2015 and 2021 a wave of stupidity unlike anything that has come before swept over Hollywood. Largely it was Bob Iger’s doing. Disney was the industry leader, largely because Bob had bought successful franchises and hadn’t ruined them… Yet. Although he had totally trashed Disney Live-Action but Hollywood preferred to ignore that due to the size of the box office...

First Impressions: Netflix’s Sandman

UPDATE: 8/2/24 (At the end of this post I predicted that Gaiman would one day be torn apart by his fans for a failure in political fashion. I now feel rather foolish for not suspecting that the creepy-looking dude who looked and dressed like the owner of a windowless van, and frequently wrote about sexual violence would turn out to be sexually abusive to a number of women. Gaiman as it turned out, was very good about selecting...

Tubi Defeats Disney+

It’s official! Disney+ has now fallen behind Tubi. The little service that could has climbed over the multi-billion dollar zombie that is Bob Iger’s legacy. The dream of his career as CEO was to make Disney’s content digital. Well, he’s done it and nobody wants it. His solution is to merge Hulu with Disney+ and then kill Hulu completely.Brilliant.Iger doesn’t have a clue why Hulu worked in the first place because his head is fundamentally wrapped around a Boomer’s view...

Disney Deathwatch: Doom Approaches

he Carano TrialThe date when both parties could petition the court for a settlement has expired. It looks like they are going to trial and it looks like they are going to roll out the red carpet all the way to the witness stand. Here’s the list of people who will be deposed, whether they want to or not.First of all, Iger himself is not on the list but that doesn't mean that if during the course of discovery, something...

80s Table Top – FASA Trader Captains and Merchant Princes

“Personal Log: Stirling Van Ruiter, Captain of the Jackpot.Do the right thing and you’ll always be punished for it. I was more loyal to Fleet Captain Garth than I should have been. When he went completely over the edge, I was the one who finally led the mutiny. Starfleet rewarded me by officially drumming me out. Oh, unofficially I still have my commission but now it’s in Starfleet Intelligence. ”A cashiered officer is ideal for the cover identity we are developing,”...
